Updated nVidia - something is not right

Found it!!! An entry in grub (or tbh several), removed and working. All as a result of trying to get sway running (and I did, just really badly :smiley: ).

These entries:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="rd.driver.blacklist=nouveau nohpet nvidia-drm.modeset=1 resume=UUID=ba983a7c-9d2a-4b9f-88bb-8879c19eae00 loglevel=3 nowatchdog nvme_load=YES"

## Changed to:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="resume=UUID=ba983a7c-9d2a-4b9f-88bb-8879c19eae00 loglevel=3 nowatchdog"

And it works. These entries did not affect the previous version, so I assumed they were not a problem

Interesting. I used hpet=disable , and I can’t find the nohpet option in the kernel-parameters.txt documentation

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="iommu=pt random.trust_cpu=on nvidia-drm.modeset=1 nvidia.NVreg_RegistryDwords=EnableBrightnessControl=1 amd_pstate.shared_mem=1 hpet=disable tsc=unstable loglevel=3 quiet"

Just a cursory search :smiley: I cannot remember where I saw that (Have reinstated as I realised it was not part of the problem).

I’m going to go by the kernel documentation rather than a page that makes an unreferenced assertion:

:grin:
